The Protector

Chapter 22 - LOVERS ⚠️ 🔞

JESSICA.

"I got a feeling
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night."

What a wonderful morning. Masaya akong kumakanta habang naliligo. Okay lang naman dahil wala akong kasama dito sa kuarto. I can be as noisy as I want hehe.

Where's Anton?

Oh well, may adjoining private room dito sa hotel kaya dalawa ang kuarto at bed. Siempre hiwalay kaming natulog ni Anton, he stayed on the other side. Iisa ang entrance nito pero may kanya kanyang room pagdating sa loob.

Di naman ito halata at wala sigurong makakapansin pa. From the outside, people knows that we slept in one room.

I wonder how's my love, este Bea. Napangiti ako habang iniisip siya. Gising na kaya ito? I hope she saw the medicine that I left in there. Alam ko na may hangover ito pagkagising kaya inunahan ko na.

Pagkagaling ko sa room niya kagabi, Anton was waiting for me. Anton was worried as I didn't take his call, akala niya ay kung saan na ako napunta.

"I saw Myla staggering in the hallway at tinanong ko kung nasaan ka kaso sa sobrang kalasingan ay hindi ko nakausap ng matino. I took her up to the room and was sick all over the place." Anton said.

"Oh, that's unfortunate. For your information, I was with Bea." I replied.

"BDL? What are you doing with her? Masyado ka na yatang close sa kanya." sabi niya.

"You want to know why I was with her?" tanong ko.

"Yes, of course." medyo naguguluhan na sagot niya.

I didn't waste any second and told him the truth, yung ginawa ng kapatid niya kay Bea. Hindi ko mabasa ang reaksyon niya tungkol dito.

"What the fuck!!!! Hahaha. Myla had a lot to drink and BDL too. May fault din si BDL, bakit kasi siya naglasing? They were both intoxicated, dapat hindi ka na lang nakialam sa kanila. Tutal matatanda na sila, sigurado ako na balewala iyon sa kanila." sabi niya habang tumatawa ng payak.

At yung victim pa ang may kasalanan?

"Yes, the fuck talaga Anton! Lalo na si Myla! Bakit kinakampihan mo pa yata ang kapatid mo? Hindi gawain ng matinong tao ang ganyan. Paano kung hindi ko sila nakita sa ganung kalagayan? May nangyari na sanang hindi kanais nais. Paano kung may ibang taong nakaalam nito? You know that you can't afford another scandal like this Anton." I said. 

Natigilan si Anton saglit, tila nag iisip.

"Babe, I'm not taking any sides. Lasing si Myla so hindi niya alam ang ginagawa niya. I will talk to BDL tomorrow if that's what you want." rason pa niya. 

"Hindi kailanman naging tama na gawing rason ang kalasingan Anton para gumawa ng masama. Of all people, ikaw ang dapat may alam nito. I hope na hindi mo pa ito nakakalimutan." sabi ko habang nakatingin sa mga mata niya.

He can't look straight kaya yumuko na lang ito.

"I'm sorry Jema." he replied.

"Yes, you should be. Anyway, I am so tired. Matulog na tayo." sabi ko.

Bigla itong tumayo at lumapit ng nakangisi sa akin. I readied myself as he appeared dangerous. Mukhang may balak na kakaiba. Lasing din kasi ito.

"Can we sleep in one room tonight please, babe? I want you." he pleaded as he touched my face.

Ang putang ina, tama nga ako. I flinched but still tried to remain calm.

"In your dreams Anton. Iligo mo na lang yan. Good night." I replied immediately while pushing his hand away from me.
